PostgreSQL@programming.dev•“But how much does a PostgreSQL license actually cost?” A Frequently Asked Question from Oracle users considering PostgreSQLEnglish
4·2 years agoFor existing installation’s I can understand why oracle is still in use. For any new build I really can’t fathom why anyone would reach for oracle over Postgres other than ignorance.

Cooking @lemmy.world•[Discussion] What is/are your favorite commercial sauces?English
1·2 years agoI tend to make my own sauces. My staple bases are soy (dark and light), oyster, fish and sesame oil.
I got an Ooni Karu 16 pizza oven. Tried it out and absolutely love it.

Australia@aussie.zone•Does anyone recommend evaporative cooler ? I know aircon is much better but I wanted something that makes air a bit humid to help with my severe dry eyes.English
3·2 years agoOur house has ducted evaporative cooling. It works great on dry hot days but is absolutely useless if there’s any amount of humidity. We’re going to get a split system in our bedroom for hot humid days.
We’re in Melbourne so it works well enough for the few stinking hot days we get.
Check out this list.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Business Accounting/TaxesEnglish
4·2 years agoDepending on how nerdy you want to be, hledger is pretty robust.
It would take a bit of setup, but you can automate transaction imports and apply rules to categorise transactions automatically.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What is your favorite domain name provider, and why?English
1·2 years agoAWS Route53. Lets me keep all my domains in one place. If Cloudflare did .au I’d switch to that.

Australia@aussie.zone•'Cash stuffing' is the budgeting hack gaining popularity on social media. Here's how it worksEnglish
2·2 years agoI’ve been wondering if there’s a way to do this with actual bank accounts. I know with ING I can only have like 2 savings/transactional accounts (1 joint, 1 personal).
I’d like to be able to spin up accounts for these categories and use them as the “envelopes” instead of relying on cash.
Thanks!

2·2 years agoI use PhotoSync to sync my Apple Photos to my NAS over SMB.
What alternatives are there for ducted heating?
I went induction cooktop and will never look back. Gas heating and water are all we have left. Hot water is probably a bit prohibitively expensive for us to change for the moment.

I have “Apple One”, and under the “Cancel All Services” button, it says if I cancel now, they will remain active until the end of the current subscription period.

Not locally hosted, but pretty powerful and has a free tier.
